Introducing Nutrien Ag Solutions

















Name changes can be an exciting time for a company, especially when it reinforces our global presence. Back in January we announced the completed merger between Agrium (our long-time parent company) and Potash Corp to form Nutrien, the world's largest agricultural inputs company. 

 Over the last few months the upper levels of Nutrien have been hard at work to capitalize on synergies brought on through the merger of two large and successful companies. One of the ways to accomplish that goal is rebranding the retail locations around the world. In the U.S. we have been known as Crop Production Services but South America and Australia had different names for the grower-facing business. Beginning July 1st all retail locations around the world began the rebranding process to become Nutrien Ag Solutions. 

 For those of us who have been with the company a number of years, this isn't the first renaming we've been through. That's some of the excitement; this comes with being a part of one of the largest and fastest growing ag retail companies in the world. With the recent merger and global rebrand, Nutrien has officially secured the top spot as the largest crop inputs company on the planet. 

 At the local level it's the same great people with the same great products working hard to provide the same great service. Let us know how we can continue serving you and your farm.

Oregon Climate Forecast

It's been a mild winter. That might be an understatement.  Is it Spring yet? Do we wait for the calendar to agree? What should we expect for the fertilizer and fungicide seasons? How about insect pest winter survival? These are all questions we're watching and 2018 should keep us all on our toes. Here's a link to an interesting resource. The Seasonal Climate Forecast February-April 2018 is a collaboration between meteorologists from the Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon Department of Forestry. Take a look, there's a lot of information there and ton of other links. Snow packs are down but this report indicates some recovery is still to come. In other words, winter's not over yet. But, a forecast is a forecast not a guarantee and sometimes we have to move on something when we get a window.  Keep talking with your CPS Fieldman to plan upcoming spring applications and formulate timing strategies.
